In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
When I get home I think about you and your demeanor;
You've got grace.
I won't shut up, I know that I should,
I'd rather stay in the time when I saw a smile on your face.
You're so pretty I could talk to you all night
I could sit here, I could talk to you all night (ad infinitum)
You've got grace.
I won't shut up, I know that I should,
I'd rather stay in the time when I saw a smile on your face.
You're so pretty I could talk to you all night
I could sit here, I could talk to you all night (ad infinitum)

I could listen to this song on a loop forever. It was amazing live. Can't wait for Album #2! Howay the lads!
I love this song.
I love the singing in this song... its so harmonious... absolutely love Field Music, but this song is a top on my list.
I am reminded of that wonderful feeling you get when you just meet someone you've had a wonderful conversation with... and you never want it to end... the repetitive nature of the song tends to imply that too, along with the lyrics but that should have been obvious.
